Too me that Tree makes me think of Scotland and that Sea monster maybe Scotland related so I'm going to say it's that Robert the Bruce or otherwise due to the blurry leak Robert the Blurry.

Unfortunately for you, Edward I. Longshanks is one of my (and many other people) far away ancestors.
Hey, cousin!

Scotland UU maybe would be Highlanders or Gallowglass swordmen. But i'd like to see Scotish Infantry from the 19th century, although it's very British
Yea they're fighting off Mongols
I think they could go three ways with the UU:
In any case they need a more creative ability than a Bonus in Hills, since the Khevsur has that already.
- A "Pictish Warrior" as in Civ V (unlikely)
- A medieval claymore-wielding Highlander to fit the leader (most likely, but please don't let it be another Military Tradition dead-end UU )
- A kilt-wearing musket-wielding Highland Regiment (very unlikely since we have England and their Redcoats in the game).

Pikeman UU would make sense for scotland and Robert no? Don't think we have any of those.
Schiltron (replaces Pikeman): Has the same bonuses as melee units (warrior/swords/musket/ect...), in addition to the standard anti-cavalry bonus.
Essentially, a pikeman and swordsman rolled into one. Not spectacular, but means you have a unit with no clear weakness.

Something I wonder is what language ol' Robbie will speak: Scottish Gaelic or Scots?
This is a very nice (and for once, reasonably accurate!) way of doing it.

That's funny though, my boyfriend is half Canadian, half Scottish and now we're sort of getting both those civs added at the same time here -.^

Where am I? What turn is it?
Could there be a unique Scottish knight? (Medieval theme) What about a Spec Ops (Modern)?

What about a schiltron?

Could be a pikeman replacement.
Not sure about the unique effect, though? We have combat bonus in hills already (Georgian Khevsur) and Pikemen are strong against cavalry anyway...
Maybe bonus when defending its own territory? But then it would be very similar to French Garde Imperiale.
Garde Imperiale could be changed to a another effect (loyalty-boosting?) though.

How would any of those make the slightest sense for scotland? They're not famous for either of those things to my knowledge?

He spoke 4 languages in real life: Gaelic, Scots, English, and Latin. I suspect they will have him speaking Scots. I'm really keen to see what he looks like.
Funny that I read that story when i was six or so in one of the children’s story books, in Chinese. And I used to think that the spider watching king was a purely fictional character, little did I know lol

Not too hard when we have a 3 choice word bank to pick from at this point
Guessing Robert the Bruce before the sneak peak helped.
I don't think there's anything hugely unique about Scottish knights in comparison with any others. As for the Spec Ops, that would be the SAS, which is British rather than specifically Scottish.

It's already an anti-cav promotion.

I'm pretty sure their UU will only be able to be killed if you chop off its head.
Bagpiper (Replaces Medic) Heals adjacent units like a normal medic PLUS gives adjacency +10 combat bonus due to enhanced morale.
Also plays bagpipe music any time an adjacent unit attacks or is attacked.
I will exclusively play RtB from now on.
